Once you have created and applied the style sheets in your document and have decided which ones will be included in your list, you are ready to start creating your list. Choose Edit > Lists and click New to display the Edit List dialog box and enter a name in the Name field.

The Available Styles list displays all of the style sheets in the active project. Select each style sheet you want to use in the list and click Add to add it to the Styles in List list. For example, if you want to include all headings that use the “Heading 1″ and “Heading 2″ style sheets in a TOC, add these two style sheets to the Styles in List list.

Once you’ve indicated which style sheets should determine what goes into the TOC, you can specify how the TOC should be formatted. For each style in the Styles in List list, choose a Level, a Numbering option, and a Format As style sheet:

• Level determines how the contents of the list are indented on the Lists palette (higher levels are indented further).
• Numbering lets you control if and where the list includes the page number for each occurrence of a style sheet.
• Format As lets you specify the style sheet to be applied to each level of the automatically generated TOC.

You can use the Edit List dialog box to create lists for things like automatic tables of contents.
